steinbrenner=terrorist??

this intruiging piece of investigative journalism comes from my buddy bartels, a diehard mets fan disgruntled over the fact that his boys quest for the NL pennant is being completely overshadowed by yankees news in new york.now, normally i wouldn't have any sympathy for the mets or their fans, but anything anti-yankees is alright with me. plus he might accuse me of being responsible for 9/11 if i don't post this. enjoy.Since purchasing the Yankees, George Steinbrenner has used his manipulative and irrational persona to transform the Yankees into baseball's foremost dictatorship/terrorist sports organization. He has used many different methods to keep the Yankees the topic of conversation around the sports world and in NY papers. Yesterday's tragic incident has been the result of the Evil Empire's latest jihad against the New York Mets for NY fans hearts. Here's a timetable of the last few days events:

Saturday 6pm – Yankees lose and are eliminated from ALDS, choke once again in playoffsSaturday 12am – Mets win and clinch NLDS series, tides are turning on townSunday papers – Yanks blow up on cover, writers talk about loss and who to blameSunday 8am – Realizing he is losing the hearts of the city, Boss realizes he must act quicklySunday 10am – Leaks information to Daily News that he will fire Joe Torre tomorrowMonday papers– Joe Torre story on covers, many experts discuss the ordealMonday 11am – Boss meets w/ his Brain Trust (Kim Jong Il, Brian Cashman, Osama Bin Laden, Urn w Babe Ruth\'s Ashes, Donald Trump, Reggie Jackson, Sgt.

NY Daily News also runs huge wrap around cover of Mets painting over Yankees logo titled "ITS OUR TOWN"Wednesday 7am– Boss calls emergency meeting with Brain Trust, says he needs a way to keep the Mets out of the spotlight for the rest of postseason and Evil Empire is now operating in Code Red.Wednesday 12pm – Kim Jong Il comes up with the idea of a Kamikaze suicide bombing by one of the players into Shea Stadium during the Mets playoff game. They rework the plan to look like an accident in order to gain sympathy and now just need a candidate, Cashman nominates Corey Lidle and lists why:

Cashman never wanted him in Abreu trade but he was thrown in there like that unwanted side of coleslaw you get w/ a good NY Deli Sandwich

Criticized Torre on Sunday for not preparing the team (or the caviar in their pregame spread) properly

Loss in Game 4 makes him an easy scapegoat rather than all the billionaire bums of "Murderers Row Plus Cano" who didn't hit

Just became pilot and owns his own plane making it so easy that Wiley Coyote could pull it off

Argued with Cashman about his flying hobby and its safety, and when you fuck with the Bull……..

Eligible to be free agent in off season (while A-Rod still has some trade value to any non-playoff team)

Played as a replacement player during MLB strike, angering the greedy bastards on strike

Double dipped his tortilla chip in clubhouse guacamole while cleaning out his locker on Tuesday which infuriated the Assistant to the Traveling Secretary, Mr Costanza

Wednesday 2:45pm - Cory Lidle and his co-pilot both died when a plane he was piloting crashed into the 50-story Bellaire Condo building on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. Four of the buildings residents were also slightly injured in the accident, they were identified as Phillip Banks, Vivian Banks, Carlton Banks, and the Fresh Prince.
